Jailhouselawyer's Blog: Murder probe over prisoner death

Jailhouselawyer's Blog

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Murder probe over prisoner death

Murder probe over prisoner death

A murder investigation has been opened after the death of an inmate at a jail in Greater Manchester.

Ryan Beaver, from Stockport, suffered serious injuries in the assault at Forest Bank Prison in Salford on Friday morning and died in hospital.

Prison guards at the privately-run jail discovered the 35-year-old unconscious just after 0900 BST and called police.

Two male inmates, aged 20 and 27, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are in in custody for questioning.

They were originally arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Forest Bank Prison is a category B prison which was opened in 2000.

It is run by Kalyx Ltd, formerly known as the UK Detention Service.

About Me - jailhouselawyer

jailhouselawyer: Hull, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom; John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
